f that. That's just something that happens on the fake news. And the last one is his recent embrace of a conspiracy theory about Haitian migrants eating people's pets. What is the racial component of that? If you replace them all with Americans or not Americans, let's say you replace them all with Irish people. But if you were under the impression that this specific little island and their specif…

d put a little transparency on this. Find out, you know, as dirty as you think politics is — and it seems plenty dirty — the fact that somebody's trying to make it impossible for somebody to get good legal representation, this affects me at a deeper level. Because the Constitution is pretty clear and the laws are pretty clear that even if you're guilty, you get to have a good lawyer and you get to have a defense. I don't think there's anything more basic to what keeps America together than the fact that if you get arrested or I get arrested or somebody we hate or somebody we love gets arrested, they're all going to get a defense.

And here they're trying to take away Trump's defense through clever just warning people away and threatening them. And I don't... it's hard to imagine anything that's more deeply evil and un-American than this. All the other stuff I talked about — propaganda, lying, maybe the elections have some problems, etc. — those are all terrible. And the P. Diddy thing is beyond belief almost. But I almost feel worse that there would be any American that is being systematically denied the best level of lawyer support. This is so deeply troubling. I mean, just... I don't know. This one bothered me a lot.

So good for America First Legal. They continue to be superstars and they are the answer for all the lawfare that's been used against the Republicans. So we've got some fight back happening.

Meanwhile, Carrie Lake's office was on lockdown because somebody mailed them a suspicious package with a substance and a message that suggested it might be anthrax. Now I don't have a confirmation that it was anthrax. Probably not. Probably not. But wow. I don't think it's ever been more dangerous to be a Republican. How many Democrats got shot at or poisoned this year? None. I mean, I hope none. But Trump got shot at. Carrie Lake got a suspicious package. It's getting dangerous to be a Republican. Tell you so. Try to stay out of jail.

All right. Yes, the little people do have trouble with lawyers. That's true.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of my prepared remarks. I'll remind you that I'm going to be on The Young Turks on Monday, 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, 5:00 p.m. California time. And so I'll have a conversation about what's good or bad about Trump. And hope you join that.

And of course if you don't know that the Dilbert calendar is available, it's available now. You can buy it only at the link at Dilbert.com. So go to Dilbert.com and follow that link. It's the only place you'll ever be able to buy that calendar.

So thanks for joining everybody. I'm going to talk to the Locals people privately and I'll see the rest of you tomorrow, same time, same place. Thanks for joining.
